Jaconé Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya.

Let's look at the only game in town for the next couple of weeks: Jaconé. It’s a consistent little spot, exposed to the south swell, and the water’s sittin’ at a warm 72°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The next week and a bit is a bit of a slow burn. A solid pulse of south swell drops in on Saturday the 25th with 5ft sets and a moderate energy level (434), but the wind is howling from the SSW at 12 mph. That’s onshore and messy, and the report says it’s poor. Honestly, for the first few days, it’s all about waiting for the wind to play ball.

Sunday morning the 26th is still a bit bumpy, and the swell drops to 3ft. The real glimmer of hope in this first week comes on Monday morning the 27th. We’ve got clean 3ft south swell rolling in with a nice 12-second period and a gentle offshore breeze from the NE at 9 mph. The energy is moderate (358), and the report says to expect good surf. It won't be huge, but it'll be clean and fun.

We hit a bit of a flat spell from Tuesday the 28th through Thursday the 30th, with waves dropping below 3ft and the energy weakening. Tuesday afternoon the 28th is okay with small clean lines, but it’s ordinary. Thursday the 30th has a glassy morning on 2ft, which is a nice paddle but nothing to write home about.

Now, hold onto your board. The real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Monday the 3rd of August. We’ve got a big jump in size. That morning, it’s 7ft of south swell with a 12-second period, and it’s dead glassy – wind at 0 mph. The wave energy is pumping hard (1219), and the conditions are rated excellent for experienced surfers. That is a proper session for the crew who know what they’re doing. The afternoon stays solid at 8ft, clean but with a slight cross-off breeze.

Tuesday the 4th of August looks almost as good, with a solid 8ft south-southeast swell, a moderate offshore wind from the NE at 16 mph, and wave energy still roaring (1544). Again, this is one for the experienced chargers only.

The energy stays strong into the second week, but the swell direction swings more east. Wednesday the 6th has a good morning session with 7ft east swell and clean offshore wind (999 energy), and Friday the 8th sees a nice 5ft east swell with gentle offshores (771 energy). Overall, the second half of the outlook has plenty of decent waves, but nothing tops that glassy, 7ft Monday. That is the call of the forecast.

Rusty.
